Which, if I may add, is ridiculous. First, a Fire Spirit was rather uncommon to loot from the gift package. Second, there are - with few exceptions, professions not being among those - realm-first achievements. Third, it was Unique-flagged; you'd only be able to have one in your bags and a second kept within the gift package. That's a total of maybe 6 skill points? The skill level cap increases by 75 points each expansion, so... 1/8th? Yes, very economy-breaking when considering the sheer number of mats plus cool-downs. /sarcasm.

Blizzard "fixed" Blingtron 4000 so that the daily quest is limited per account instead of per character. However, the minimum level requirement was removed, has a higher chance to drop valuable gifts, and can turn your character into a snazzy-looking human male or female (depending upon the character's gender) for one hour. (See Wowpedia article - Blingtron 4000.)
